Hood Meadows are all within 22 miles! And in summer, golf and spa services are a five minute drive away at The Resort at the Mountain.

Laid out on the inside like a grand mountain lodge, you'll love spending time in front of the floor-to-ceiling, wood burning fireplace. There's also a flatscreen TV, cable, WiFi, and a DVD player. And while you're enjoying the living room's ambiance, you'll have a pleasing view out onto the spacious deck.

This large main level also has a country-style kitchen with all the appliances you'll need for delicious vacation meals. After dinner, warm up in the deck's private hot tub, while you keep an eye out for shooting stars.

The three bedrooms and two baths at this gorgeous Mt. Hood getaway will sleep up to six guests and include features like a clawfoot tub, skylights, and colorful, warm quilts. There's even a washer and dryer here so you can always have clean, warm socks. You're also welcome to bring two dogs with you for an additional nightly fee.

This Welches vacation cabin is perfect for ski trips, fishing retreats, or any family and friend getaway based near the stunning Mt. Hood National Forest. Summer or winter, you'll never run out of activities here - even if your favorite one is just relaxing on the sofa, in front of a roaring fire.

Awesome Cabin

It is a great cabin. The location is amazing, right on the river. So beautiful. I will absolutely stay here again. Just a great little get away, and nice that it is not far from town... less than 10 minutes to get to the store if needed.

Good, spacious cabin option

Overall, this was a good place for a reasonable price. It was a bit tough as the second bathroom only has a bath and not a shower; also, could likely use some updated and newer rugs throughout to give an overall cleaner feel. If you are looking for a good value in a good location, this cabin does the job!

Nice place with some caveats

Lovely cabin, but we wish we knew about the unleashed dogs in the neighborhood before booking, as we have a reactive dog. Place was mostly very clean except for the coffee machine and frying pans which had not been cleaned properly. Everything else was fine, and the fireplace and amenities were great.

Super Cool and Relaxing

This cabin was the most charming cabin feel I've ever stayed in. The stream running of the back deck and the hot tub right there on the deck too made it sweet. Even inside with a roaring fire with the view of the stream constantly running is awesome. Fully functional and clean.

Great place to relax

Once again we enjoyed staying here at Papa Bears cabin. It’s such a cute and cozy cabin. Even though it was chilly when we arrived, once we got the fire going in the fireplace, it got toasty warm. It seems like there was some updating to the kitchen since the last time we were there, and it was very nice to cook in. Even though it was chilly and rainy outside, I still loved listening to the river and birds in the morning, while having my coffee. The beds were comfy, we all slept very well. Even our dog liked the cabin, she was so happy and relaxed there. We can’t wait to come stay here again.

Cute and cozy cabin

We really liked this cabin. We loved sitting on the deck drinking our coffee in the morning right next to the river. The BBQ was great, and the hot tub was really nice and was big enough for our whole family to sit in. We also liked using the fireplace in the evening, it really warmed up the place. I’m so glad it was daylight when we arrived because we got lost at first trying to find the place, but once we found it then we were good. We really had such a nice time.

The hot tub was off when we arrived and took two days to get to temp, so that was disappointing. Everything else was great.

We stayed six nights and were very comfortable. The cabin has what you need and pleanty of space. I was relaxed and loved listeningto the river. Slept great!! The wifi, service was not good and the dvd players didntwork...but that's not why wew were there. We were there to enjoy the cabin, the river, family and relax. I definitely hope to go back next summer! The location is great..secluded and quiet but close to town ( if you do need sufficient wifi and cell service )

Great Weekend Get Away, however the managment was not understanding!

The place was great,. however we were disappinted with the management / owners. The family came down with Covid the week before the trip. We asked to reschedule and even though later days were available they were not flexible. We still ended up going but a couple of us were sick. It was a beautiful place for a restful weekend and we did enjoy ourselves.
